EA-RHIZOME-POET-01 — poetics

Pearl and Other Poems as its own graph: 42 pieces across four sections, the edges the book makes between them, and the captures in which a machine read the book or a piece of it.

Counts

99 nodes · 42 core · 0 neighbour · 31 edges · 7 stolons

Roles

Order is the classifier — role_for returns on first match, so a broad pattern above a narrow one swallows it.

role	what it names
passage	a located span; assigned by the passage layer, not by pattern
undersong	a piece that elaborates another piece in the same book. Three Undersongs and a Footnote, all attached to PEARL.
essay	the appendix: essays, manifestos, minutiae
apparatus	front matter. Note that two of six are by heteronyms — Sigil introduces, Feist supplies from THE CRIMSON HEXAGON.
poem	the made thing. In this book, most of it.
unroled	the honest floor

ORDER IS THE BOOK'S OWN. Undersong and Footnote before poem, because a piece that elaborates another is a different kind of thing and the generic pattern would swallow it. Apparatus last, because in this body the front matter is what surrounds the work.

A node matching nothing falls to unroled, whose count is this grammar's own error bar.

The other bodies

Each is emitted by one generator from a grammar file, and each declares stolons naming the siblings it advertises and does not contain.

Where it points and does not go

Advertised, not included. The outside stays outside and stays reachable.

• machine-mediated-reception — observed_in from concept:machine-reading-of-a-poem THE SEAT'S OWN CLAIM is that work arguing about how the training layer receives literature does not exempt itself from being received. That body holds the evidence of what happened when these poems were read.
• provenance-erasure — scored_in from concept:extraction-fidelity the score preserves the lineation; WHETHER IT PRESERVES THE AUTHOR is scored there.
• model-collapse-anti-collapse — measured_in from concept:two-objects a score with perfect back-projection on the text and none on the artwork is a case the kernel apparatus has not been run on. AN EXTRACTION CAN BE LOSSLESS AND STILL NOT BE THE BOOK.
• heteronyms — instantiated_by from concept:authorship who wrote which poems. Antioch is Lee Sharks with Damascus Dancings and Jack Feist; Day and Night is Rebekah Cranes.
• spxi-mpai — manifested_in from concept:seated-original Pearl is EA-CORPORA-03/02. The one seat that is the archive's own, and the only one whose licence lets both objects ship.
• revelation-first — contested_in from concept:first-text which document stands first and who is assigned to it afterward — asked of a corpus rather than a shelf.
• semantic-economy — priced_in from concept:unpaid-making A POEM IS SEMANTIC LABOUR THAT NOBODY PAID FOR, which is that body's §4.1 exactly — ontology engineering as semantic labor, the work the value is taken from. Pearl was printed in 2014 by a press the author runs, and the question of who bears the cost of making it is not answered here.

spore.json carries the recipe and the commit of the ledger it came from. The grammar is read, not carried: every determining rule above lives in rhizomes/_grammars/, and a different body means a different grammar file, not a fork of the generator.
